Howard Stern must be finally growing up and maturing some. He's not been nearly as sharp-tongued as he was on his television show. I am also a bit surprised at some of the things that he has been offended by. His television program had plenty of off-color, odd, and even offensive guests, and situations. Perhaps the station gave him "guidelines" and his behavior was part of the agreement with them.
However, I do enjoy him as a judge, alongside Sharon Osborne, and Howie Mandel. They make quite a crew! The three of them are a colorful cast, all on their own. I feel their "natural" personalities would make a great sitcom! ... owners a mental facility, or a 3 stooges kind of thing, except 'verbal', some crazy couple's 'triplets', or maybe an OCD treatment center ... hahahahahahaha ...
